...sees what he wants to see and disregards the rest

You can take almost any stock and find periods where it has out performed and under performed the market. The idea is to look at your investment horizon and see how it's performed to date and what your expectations are for your expected holding time.

From your posts, it seems that your primary concern with management is what they do and say to influence investors. Yow feel they should be constantly putting out good news and buying the stock, never selling. Their stock trading activity is and should only be governed by the SEC rules. News should be put out whenever it happens, good or bad. Managements primary task is to run the company. If they do that well the stock price will take care of itself. Investing is a long term activity. If you are running a marathon and concerning yourself with leading at every 100 yards, you will waste a lot of effort winning meaningless challanges while robbing yourself of energy needed to endure the long term.

If your on the clock I can understand your impatience. Otherwise you need to reassess your expectations.
